creativity in your child

red and blue paint on large paper to cover the stand for children. Not a trace of white remains. only straight lines, curves, and fingerprints can be distinguished. The artist child (4-year-old Austin) now has the purple fingers and a spot on a red eye. He is not me or anyone else, as he finished his work, is simply the task, work for the next child. He takes his painting, he washes his brushes and cleans everything from the color of the dischargeStand. Once this is complete, do not seek approval from any adults or children. This work is not for or about a person other than him!

Art is a form of self-expression that is a great satisfaction for him that he feels free
Emote. It 'a wonderful tool for children who are among the most creative work in the world - the creation of an adult who will. E 'respect for parents and teachers and understand the child uses all the tools to achieve importantThis monumental task and creative. The parents, the creativity of their children, claiming the experience can be narrowed to create at the same time avoiding the pitfalls that a child is ready.

To encourage creativity in your home, there are some simple things you can do. Walking into a room that is equipped with art materials, crayons, oil pastels, colored chalk, tempera, watercolor, clay, paste, paste / glue, scissors and various types of paper. Show your child how to manipulate the artTools or ways to use a particular medium. Also a lesson on how to clean the baby and care for materials that have given. Once you give your baby has introduced a new material to create time and space to explore, invent and explore the material as he wishes.

Adults should try to remember to focus on the creative process, not the product, especially when working with very young children. Children engaged in art and movement to exploretheir ability to control the tool in hand, instead of creating a preconceived idea of something. Rhonda Kellogg wrote about children go through stages as they move from their first scribbles of figurative art.

Parents often come into my class at the end of the day and see a painting or drawing, which created their child and want to engage their children. Invite parents to have enjoyed an open, non-judgmental statements such as "You lookPainting Today "or" You chose a lot of bright colors. "Try to avoid asking what the design is, first of all because it never could have been a" thing ", and secondly, the child who lives at this time and have probably forgotten to be disappointed when the picture is not marred only the parents but also to itself.

The second way to encourage parents, children, is to be creative surround them with beauty and nature. Artist Julia Cameron encourages aspiring artiststo "fill well" with memories and visions of beauty. We do so by works of art, beautiful music, walks in the park and other multi-faceted aesthetic experiences. children recognize and appreciate the beauty in different forms - not to try to limit primary objects and color cartoons.
to run one of my favorite activities with the children in my class creates the story of a painting. Through simple questions, we explore how a painting, if we were on foot.
Thisis the conversation I had with two children when viewing a painting of Monet's Garden:

Laura: "Do you want to walk in this garden?"

Children: "Oh, yes,"

Laura: "What do you think we should hear the sounds when we where right on the bridge

Child 1: "I think I hear birds singing"

Child 2: "No, no, I hear the waterfall"

Child1: "I do not see a waterfall in this photo"

Child 2: "This is because it is only through thethere, the painting "

Child 1: "I do not see it!"

Laura: ". If we use our imagination, we see different things in our heads It's OK, it's also fun to listen to what others think, we all see things our way."

The conversation continued with a few requests for me. "What smell do you mean?" "What do you feel?" "What is in the eye or around the corner?" In view of the art through the eyes of a child is a very meaningful and joyful.

I encourageAll to be creative. They inspire children every day from work to engage in about a visit to a museum or a small art gallery? How to stop to admire the pansies from the sidewalk? Or on the grass and roll was seen in the clouds? What kind of art you have in your house? What kind of music that moves? How full is your well?
